yes I do.

PM me an address I'll get you a shipping quote when the time comes. Unless its right around a trail run you come to.
It can bounce around you guys like what was her name Heather? @NorilskSever

 

That being said though. It's only easy if you have the right tools to do the job. I did it myself, but I also have experience doing similar things at work. I wouldn't say it's an easy job for someone with no mechanical experience.

 

I was at the shop when my mechanic was doing it lol. He was bitching that getting the axle out was more of a pain than removing the old bearing.

 

Haha, I never had a problem with that. My biggest problem was finding a big enough hammer to separate the tie rod. I didn't have a separator. lol

 

ya it seems its harder to get everything apart to get to the damn thing than it is to change the actual bearing.

I've done them before on other cars. its always a bit of a pain without the proper tools.

 

OK thanks man!

I will pm you my address, I think that will be the best way.

So I have now enrage the wife apparently.
'You know you said it would be 4 years before you would lift it'

We will be year 3 in January. Just a bit ahead of schedule

 

way behind me. I was lifted within the first 9months 17 000km lmao

 

hey, I just realized I have my original needle bearing sitting in a drawer. If you want it let me know. Just pay shipping.

 

Go to timmies this morning to get coffee, and on the way home I see a kid who is like 12 or 13 pumping up a tire on a truck with a bicycle hand pump. There was no way I could drive passed that and be ok with myself. So I stop and get out, the kid is just staring at me. I hook up the air line, turn on the compressor. He moves out of the way and I fill the tire in like 30 seconds.

'Now my Dad will think I am superman' He says as he high five's me.

lol

 

It's better to do all the major suspension work early, when all the bolts aren't rusted.

 

I would also recommend to apply anti-seize on each bolt before putting it back. Less chance of cutting those bolts after.

 

Same thing my mechanic said

 

I got you beat. I only had 12000km and 7 months. lol

 

Has anyone looked at the new chevy zr2’s?

I just test drove one, I’ve been eyeing them ever since I got the tacoma.
Tacoma deal was done after I realized what these trucks were about.

If there was better aftermarket support, I think I would’ve bought one today.

I like to hear other people’s opinions about them. Unfortunately my girlfriends doesn’t count to much because she doesn’t understand anything about it.

 

Can’t say about ZR2 specifically, but it’s Chevy...

They are the most unreliable trucks/cars I’ve seen, and I’ve seen many of them breaking down after one year of intense use.


Better wait for a new ford ranger, that will be a good rival to a tacoma and maybe Toyota will produce an actual 3rd Gen after

 

How many do you have...?? If you trade the Taco, they may all leave you..!!

Don't do it man... keep the girlfriends..!!

 

Tried to test tried one, the dealer told me

Douche: 'Yea you wont be able to test drive one of those north of Toronto. The only one we have comming is sold.'
ME: 'How can I decide to purchase the truck if I cant drive it?'
Douche: 'Good question'

I then hung up.

 

Guys... DO NOT DO IT...!!! Chebbies are still shit !! Always will be ...!!

 

Never would, my taco is my truck for the next 30 years. Just wanted to see what the competition thinks is better

 

Actually, if you have time to waste...why not drive their truck around town..?? It's not like it'll cost ya anything, right..?
I've had 4 Chebbies and 2 had major motor problems.. 3 had big RUST issues....On 1, I had to keep the tailgate up to hold the damn box from flopping over and falling off...!!! Never again...!!
